Soil & Leaf Testing

Skeltons has a close association with specialist soil analysis experts, Hill Laboratories.  Our technical advisors can take soils samples at the appropriate time and using the information determined by Hill’s comprehensive testing, prepare reports that identify any issues and give unbiased recommendations on remedial action.

These soil test results form a base line that we then use in assessing and addressing your soil’s nutritional levels and your crop’s nutritional requirements in subsequent years.

We can also carry out sap testing and soil microbological indicator tests to ensure optimal soil health.  For asparagus crops we can undertake Aspire carbohydrate tests on roots, again to check on plant health.

Contact us if you would like any of these tests undertaken by a Skeltons technical advisor.
